The Sun joins Capulus on May 14

Fixed star Capulus, M34 Persei, is a 5.5 magnitude star cluster in the sword hand of the Hero, Perseus Constellation. Morse says that the word Capulus means Handle. The cluster is just visible to the naked eye in very dark conditions, well away from city lights.

Fixed Star Capulus Astrology

Fixed star Capulus is of the nature of Mars and Mercury (high enterprise, combative, destructive.) It causes blindness or defective eyesight. [1]

Capulus, or Gyrus is a multiple star and a cluster. The second name merely describes the circular appearance but Capulus means a Handle, as they mark the sword hand of Perseus, which is why Ptolemy classed them as a Mars-Mercury item. Like most clusters, they are traditionally malefic, associated with either murder or execution. Being in Taurus, those facts are specifically related to the neck, hanging or beheading.

What seems to have been missed by the old school is that Capulus and Algol each have a very positive side to them. The sword did remove a monstrosity from our world, and the monstrosity’s head did, in its turn, rescue Andromeda – and by the same token, all of us – from yet another monster of great evil. How Capulus, and more especially Algol, signify on horoscopes depends entirely on how the person concerned does or does not live life with an honest sense of purpose to it, a desire at least to try to live up to some kind of philosophy, religion or ideal. If that be present, in the person or question or event for which the chart is drawn, then all will go well. The author has seen this happen so often, once the superstition about these stars is dropped. If purpose and intent be ‘shady’, then we don’t really need stars to tell us that things are likely, with good reason, to go wrong. [3]

Fixed star Capulus rules the back of the neck in the human body. [4]

Constellation Perseus

Perseus is like Jupiter and Saturn. It is said to give an intelligent, strong, bold and adventurous nature, but a tendency to lying. [1] The constellation is indicative of events effecting large numbers of people, especially those events caused by major meteorological phenomena. When prominent in a natal chart it is said to denote adventurous individuals, but also those who are less than honest in their dealings with others. [2]

Moon conjunct Venus conjunct Capulus: This is a very difficult energy point as it affects the nerves in the back of the neck and up the spine to the head. This individual usually has no mobility through the vertebrae in the neck area, and there is a blockage of energy to all the nerve areas connected to the spine. As a result, all fixed star points connected to the pituitary gland are also affected. These persons will experience blackouts as the energy flow is cut off from time to time, but they do have vision most of the time. They are not in continuous darkness, especially if there are good aspects to this conjunction. As the person ages, the condition worsens and the problem is attributed to a malfunction of the eyes instead of a blockage in the nervous system. When they are very young, they do not understand what is occurring nor able to describe the problem. They do not realize the energy pattern through the nerves that block the reflective light at times. [4]
